Christmas Lights

A Sparkling Highlight in Mainz, the City of Christmas

This year, downtown Mainz is aglow with a very special display of lights! For the first time, “Christmas Lights Mainz” is transforming Ludwigsstraße into a winter wonderland of lights.

Located between the Historic Christmas Market on the Domplätze and the “Mainzer Winter Zeit” market on Schillerplatz, the Christmas Lights are making Ludwigsstraße glow. The light sculptures, which are free to view, enhance one of the city center’s most important thoroughfares.

Here’s where you’ll find the Christmas Lights

You can discover the illuminated sculptures at three locations along Ludwigsstraße:

• Forecourt of Ludwigsstraße 4

• Forecourt of Deutsche Bank

• Forecourt of the former LuLu

The light installations connect the Historic Christmas Market at the Cathedral with the “Mainzer WinterZeit” market on Schillerplatz and invite visitors to take an atmospheric stroll through the Christmas-themed city.
